leak reveals Kash Patel's 'long segments of leisure time'

https://www.rawstory.com/kash-patel-2675331855/


Patel has defended his trip to Italy during the Olympic games, with the FBI telling the Times that the trip was focused on “strengthening joint counterterrorism coordination” with America’s European allies.

After the Times obtained an internal schedule for Patel’s trip, however, it was revealed that long stretches of time were earmarked for things like “personal time” or “cultural activities.” In response to the leak, the FBI vowed to hold the leaker accountable.

Now Patel has his "personal time" and "cultural activities". Where most people work, those two things are counted as either PTO (Personal Time Off) or Vacation days. Must be nice to have a high level job that requires little actual work - and perks at the taxpayers expense.

There’s none left as far as I know. Not important ones at least.
